This Just In: Canadians Can Find Dirt, Deadly Weapons in Their Own Backyard

Did you ever go outside and say, “Gee, I wish there was a way for me to acquire deadly weapons without having to deal with the government or intense background checks.” Well, consider moving to Canada. Reuters reported today that an Edmonton woman found a strange package in her backyard and took it to the police, who later revealed it to be a Canadian military hand grenade.  In what we believe to be the most “well, DUH” quote of the day, the police department said:

“It is quite unusual for someone to find a grenade in their backyard, especially one that hasn’t been spent,”

Thanks police department of Edmonton, we really had no idea.  We just assumed that loose grenades would be standard in every suburban home lot.

But man, the junk you find just lying around these days…

JC Penney “Pissed” at Leak of Teen-Sex-Themed Ad

Yesterday, Gawker posted a video showing an advertisement from not-quite-Macys department store giant JC Penney. In the ad, two teenagers time themselves on how quickly they can dress and re-dress themselves. The scene ends with the boy going to the girl’s house (with her mother at home), and the girl saying how she and the boy are going downstairs to watch TV. The best part? The tagline reads “Today’s The Day To Get Away With It.” Was this for real?

Seventeen Pregnant Girls…At The Same High School…Yup, It’s a Coincidence

Rumors spread last week following a story that seventeen high school girls from Gloucester, MA (mostly sophomores!) made a pact to get pregnant. Well, now one of the seventeen went on Good Morning America and said the whole thing was a coincidence and that they were just unlucky. Right…. It just so happens that there are seventeen Junos running around in the same high school and we’re expected to believe this wasn’t on purpose?

Boy George Denied U.S. Visa, Access to Further Annoy Americans, Opportunity to Assault Gigolos

Oh man, did you score Boy George tickets for this summer? Well if you did, you’re either living in the past or you’re totally gay, but regardless, looks like those hard earned tickets are going to be completely worthless. The 80s icon and frequent law offender was recently denied a U.S. visa, forcing him to cancel his upcoming summer tour and take care of more pressing matters back home, like standing trial for the house arrest and assault of a male escort.

Westchester Teen Moons Crowd, Loses Respect, Diploma

Its your last moment of high school and all you want to do is to make a lasting impression, right?  Well, for one Westchester H.S. graduate possible fifth-year senior, he certainly knew how to leave his mark.  The Journal News reported today that during a high school graduation ceremony, a senior received his diploma, then immediately “dropped-trou” for the crowd, students, and faculty.  Some were amused, but most were displeased, including the principal, who immediately struck back and took the student’s diploma!  Talk about a total buzzkill.

Really?  Mooning the crowd will get you another year of high school?  Very shady, but still not as shocking as this.
